The Bottom Line
When it comes right down to it though, with the experiences we witnessed in gaming with the Gigabyte 3D1 6600 GT SLI versus a GeForce 6800 GT single, we had a more consistent and better experience with the single GeForce 6800 GT. In the times in FarCry when the SFR SLI wasn’t working too well, the GeForce 6800 GT was faster. In Need for Speed Underground 2 and other games where SLI isn’t enabled, a single GeForce 6800 GT is faster.Depends on what you do, but I'd say 6800GT.

Im currently playing Joint Operations: Escalation, I want to move to Battlefield 2, but my current card keeps crappin out on me. So the setup will be mainly for the Battlefield graphics engine.

Definitely a 6800GT. Only a few games can benefit from SLi for the moment, so a single card is always the best option. The on-card SLI is still a bit buggy as well and you need a SLI motherboard.
Finally, once you have that SLI mobo you can upgrade with another 6800GT quite easily.
